A Random Blood Sugar test may be recommended by a doctor if an individual exhibits symptoms such as frequent urination, extreme thirst, sudden weight loss, increased fatigue, persistent hunger, blurry vision, slow wound healing, tingling in extremities, dehydrated skin, or low immunity. This test is prescribed for conditions like Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, and prediabetes. If there are risk factors for diabetes, such as high blood pressure or being overweight, your doctor may suggest a Random Blood Glucose test.

The primary objective of this test is to assess random blood sugar levels, and a reading of 200mg/dl or higher indicates the presence of diabetes mellitus. The timely diagnosis through the Random Blood Sugar test facilitates prompt treatment, monitoring, and assessment during and after treatment. Symptoms such as unintended weight loss, dehydration, dry mouth, slow wound healing, blurry vision, and frequent urination could prompt a doctor to prescribe the RBS test.

The Random Blood Glucose test doesn't necessitate fasting or specific preparation and can be conducted at any time of the day, regardless of your last meal. It's important not to consume excessive water before the test, as an increased intake may impact blood sugar readings.

During the RBS Test

A phlebotomist from PharmEasy Labs will conveniently visit your home on the scheduled day and time of your preference. They will skillfully use a vein finder to locate the right vein, employing clean, new needles and syringes to draw a small volume of blood. The collected sample will then be promptly sent to the labs for analysis.

The normal values and reference ranges of the test may vary from lab to lab. Please refer to the ranges mentioned in the report and consult a doctor to understand the interpretation of lab reports.
